Disk quota availability error

[Maddias]

I get this error in qbittorrent "Errored: Not Enough quota is available to process this command" despite Quota's being disabled on the disk written to.
I'm not sure whether Windows is to blame or qbittorrent.

OS: Windows 10 Pro

How big is the torrent vs how much free space is on the disk?

[Maddias]

The to torrent is like 200gbs but the disk got over 4 tb left, prolly shoulda included that in the OP mb

Trying to save the file to a FAT32-formatted disk?

oh, and i forgot to mention that it did download about 2%

[Kilrah]

That would validate my supposition above since that's 4GB and FAT32 can't store files bigger than 4GB.

Fat32 is not available in partition manager, i tried to do it in cmd but no success, this is what i tried https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/converting-or-formatting-a-usb-flash-drive-to/7e1c21ce-01d4-42fa-aab2-d3ae0f2bf9c7

 

 

My cmd window

DISKPART> list disk

I was writing to a disk with ntfs file system.

I did read something about only ntfs supporting quotas, could exfat be an alternative?
 

[Kilrah]

You don't get it, FAT32 does not support files >4GB, so if you want to be able to store a 200GB file it must NOT be FAT32.

So check whether it indeed currently is FAT32, and if so and you're OK with erasing the whole drive contents reformat it in ExFAT or NTFS depending on your compatibility needs.

I misread your first comment, i thought you were asking me to try it with fat32, and i was using ntfs.

what's the error code exactly tho?

 

 

and the drive in question is what exactly? (brand, type, etc)

[Maddias]

The issue has been solved.

I originally tried on my synology nas, before posting here i tried my 4tb kingston ssd. (both ntfs)
The fact that i misread Kilrah's first reply gave me the idea to try exfat file system and it worked.
